CAULIFLOWER-VEGETABLE BEAN CHILI

© 2024 Wicked Foods Inc. All rights reserved.

Packed with beans, San Marzano tomatoes, spices and cauliflower, this chili recipe will feed and please a crowd. Just add the ingredients to a crock pot or stove pot and simmer to allow the flavors to mingle and the ingredients to soften to perfection! 

When winter rolls in, we look forward to hunkering down and cuddling up with a big bowl of comfort. Raiding the cabinets more often than running to the store to shop for anything new. Every couple of months it’s good to purge the canned goods we have stored away, and this heart-warming crock pot chili is a wonderful way to use up a few of the beans and tomatoes we have. Anything slow cooked tends to all meld together and that is whats so great about it. One of the things we love about slow cookery outside of the ease and convenience is mixing in steamed or roasted fresh vegetables right before it’s time to eat, which adds a whole new level of wicked deliciousness!
